Children In The Crosshairs

We Need To Reassert The Place Of Prayer In Our Nation’s Affairs And In Our Schools

From our nation’s birth onward, respect, responsibility, and reverence have been foundation stones in our society, and in the upbringing of America’s children. Today, however, it seems that those three time-tested Rs are too often being exchanged for three others—for rebellion against established norms of decency, a redefinition of the most fundamental truths, and a culture that rejects anyone who takes a strong stand for traditional moral values.

Making A Difference In Jesus’ Name: The Christians Standing To Protect Children In The Public Square

Along with a core parent group of about 15 people, she started attending school board meetings. It was also around this time that Shaw and her family left a church that had begun drifting from sound Bible teaching and started attending Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, where Pastor Jack Hibbs was preaching clear Biblical messages.

Swiss Government Takes Custody Of Child After Parents Reject Harmful Puberty Blockers

“These parents are living every parent’s worst nightmare. Their child has been taken away from them simply for trying to protect her from harm. The implications of this are devastating not only for them as a family, but also for all of society. No society can claim to be free if parents can lose their daughter solely for affirming biological reality.”

We Need To Reassert The Place Of Prayer In Our Nation’s Affairs And In Our Schools

Why Following God’s Will Doesn’t Mean ‘Smooth Sailing’

Many Christians are tempted to believe the lie that when we’re in the will of God, everything will be smooth sailing. But often just the opposite is true. Doors slam in our faces. Obstacles appear in our paths. Storms arise that threaten to drive us off course.

Understanding The Reality Of Satan And His Strategy Against Us

I’m convinced that one reason so many Christians are living defeated lives today is because they do not believe or they do not understand the reality of Satan and His strategy for their spiritual destruction. A knowledge of the enemy is essential for spiritual victory.

In-Depth: Who Do You Say That Jesus Is?

Jesus and His disciples journeyed to Caesarea Philippi. In the preceding two years, the Nazarene Rabbi’s reputation as a truth-speaker and miracle-worker had steadily grown, as news of His exploits and teachings had swept across 1st-century Judea and Samaria. Now, withdrawn into this remote and predominantly pagan region, with shrines to the Greek god Pan immediately behind Him and the breathtaking beauty of the woods and cliffs all around Him, Jesus turned to His disciples and posed a seemingly simple, straightforward question: “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”

US Senate Candidate Says ‘Islamic Mystics’ Shaped His Christian Faith Just As Much As The Bible

Texas Democrat James Talarico—who has been heavily criticized by evangelicals for claiming that "God is nonbinary" and the Bible is silent about abortion—has also credited Islam’s influence on his religious beliefs as comparable to the Bible’s teachings, according to a recently unearthed 2024 podcast interview. While in a more recent interview with The New York Times Talarico claimed that his faith was rooted in “Biblical Christianity,” an April 2024 interview on The State of Belief podcast alongside Muslim Texas state Rep. Salman Bhojani tells a different story.

In-depth: Mainstream Education Systems Have Become Modern Marxist Discipleship Centers

For years, public education systems have been discipling young people to believe a destructive false gospel. This reality helps explain why youth we know and love may seem to be learning less about reading, math, and science than about activism, sexuality, and liberal ideology.

Bill Graham Chaplains Respond After Catastrophic Fires Rage Through Spain

Extreme summer heat across southwest Europe has ignited uncontrollable wildfires, scorching over 190,000 acres and forcing 330,000 people from their homes. Officials in Spain have declared it a national emergency—the first of its kind—as the blaze continues to threaten communities.

Abortion Training On Campus: What’s Happening At Curtin’s Midwifery Clinic 

Young women training to bring life into the world are instead being trained to end it. Most students who choose midwifery do it because they want to care for mothers and babies. Folding abortion provision into that training, without it being sought out or chosen, changes the character of the profession itself. 

Barna Group: Christians Use AI More Than The Average American

In what some might find surprising, Christians are tapping into artificial intelligence (AI) more than other Americans, with many even trusting it to foster “spiritual growth” within their lives, according to new data from Barna Research.

Massachusetts On Verge Of Allowing Abortion Until Birth For Any Reason

A bill that would allow abortion for any reason up until the point of birth passed the Massachusetts House of Representatives last week and could become law by Friday if the state Senate passes the measure. Advocates are decrying the proposed measure as inhuman and are urging the public in the Bay State to reach out to their representatives to vote the legislation down.

Trump Says Hamas Has Agreed To Disarm, But Deep Skepticism Remains

President Donald Trump announced Thursday that Hamas has agreed to a phased process leading to the “complete disarmament” of the terrorist organization and other armed factions in the Gaza Strip, calling the reported agreement a historic step toward lasting peace.

Iraq’s Court Of Cassation Affirms Woman’s Right To Be Classified As A Christian In State’s Official Database

Iraq’s Court of Cassation has affirmed a previous ruling in favor of a young Christian woman, Maryam*, allowing her to have her official religious status corrected in the government’s database after she was automatically registered as Muslim under Iraqi law. The ruling from the country’s highest appellate court on personal status matters ordered the correction of Maryam’s religious classification and marks a strong step forward for religious freedom in cases of state-assigned religion, where Christians are inaccurately classified as Muslims in government-issued documents. 

Falling Into Place: How The Democrat Party Morphed Into The Party Of Destruction, Communism, And Islam

Leftists can put a new label on communism, calling it “democratic socialism,” but what this ideology is remains unchanged. We are seeing an embrace of the same dangerous Marxism that has resulted in the death of at least 100 million people worldwide. Should the United States succumb to “democratic socialism,” we would lose almost every freedom that the American system was built to protect. Many nations have gone down this path; you may be from nations that made that terrible decision. But to the believer, there is another dimension, and that is what the Bible prophesies: a coming one-world system with a one-world leader.

DOJ Recognizes That The Biden Administration Abused Its Power By Arresting A Pro-life Father At Gunpoint

“This settlement is not just about one family,” Crampton said. “It is a warning and a precedent. The weaponization of federal law enforcement against pro-lifers, against people of faith, against those who dare to stand for the unborn—that era is over.”

Deeply Controversial AI System Could Make Decisions About ‘Child Welfare’ Across America

Deeply controversial Artificial Intelligence systems will be making more decisions about “child welfare” across America as technocratic governance expands; at least if the scheme is not stopped. With child welfare bureaucracies already out of control and under fire, critics are sounding the alarm. The Department of Health and Human Services, through its Administration for Children and Families, is offering $6 million in grants so states, territories, and tribal governments can pilot predictive risk-modeling tools. These AI systems will supposedly help case workers decide which children are in danger, and which families can be left alone.

The Damage Caused By Fauci’s Lies Is Incalculable—And The American People Deserve Answers

Anthony Fauci’s testimony – or lack thereof – in front of the Senate Homeland Security Committee was a disgraceful new chapter in one of the great scandals in modern history. Fauci’s invocation of his Fifth Amendment right over 100 times was a telling and shameful response to a critical inquiry, and he deserves to be held in contempt for failing to cooperate. For a man who once described himself as “Science” incarnate, what could he possibly have to hide, and why would he not wish to share his knowledge with the American people?

Terror And Chaos: What’s Behind The Murderous Ideology Of A Radicalized Iran?

The current conflict with Iran is indicative of the dilemma we face. Although the conflict with Iran has churned up new risks and tremendous disruptions (not just in oil prices and supply chains, but to livelihoods and even innocent lives subject to indiscriminate Iranian attacks), it seeks to eliminate a far greater threat: a nuclear-armed Iran. There is little doubt that if the ayatollahs, mullahs, and radicalized militants of Iran possessed a nuclear weapon, they would unleash it on Israel and American forces throughout the region.

‘Outsourced Discernment’: The Dangers Of Christians Trusting Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is advancing at a breathtaking pace. Developers sell its promise, organizations rush to weave it into daily operations, and professionals across nearly every field scramble to define its place. Yet Christians confront a deeper question: How should believers engage a technology that presents itself as the source of all answers—when it is programmed by people who do not have them?

Samaritan’s Purse Deploys To Wisconsin After Devastating Tornado

“We thank God that there have been no reported deaths from the storm, but it damaged many homes and businesses in the community,” said Samaritan’s Purse President Franklin Graham on Facebook. “Pray for these hurting families.”

Court Backs Firing of Christian School Counselor Who Promoted Biological Gender

“The government can’t silence a speaker just because it disapproves of what he says, yet InterMountain fired Rod Theis after a single person objected to his views," Hoffman said. 

Antisemitic Violence Reaches Deadliest Global Level In More Than 30 Years

Antisemitic violence worldwide reached its deadliest level in more than three decades during 2025, according to a new report documenting a sharp escalation in threats and attacks against Jewish communities.

Department Of Education Launches Investigation Over Transgender Dolls With Swappable Genitals In Minnesota Classrooms

The U.S. Department of Education has launched an investigation into the Minnesota Department of Education after reports that some schools plan to use taxpayer-funded dolls with interchangeable genitalia as part of lessons on gender identity.

The Term ‘Genocide’ Was Born From The Holocaust… And It Is Now Being Twisted To Attack The Jews

The word “genocide” was coined in 1942 by Polish Lawyer Raphael Lemkin and didn’t exist prior to World War Two. As a result of the Holocaust, the word was established as a legal term for an international crime (1948). The word Genocide has become a leitmotif when Israel is being discussed among foes. It has become the main recurring excuse to accuse Israel in this current exponentially growing campaign of delegitimization, demonization, and double standards.

White House Religious Liberty Commission Issues Pressing Warning About Europe’s Free Speech Crisis

A US commission established by President Donald Trump has highlighted Europe’s free speech crisis by referencing in a draft report the criminal convictions of an army veteran in the UK for silently praying, and a Christian politician in Finland for writing a church booklet. The Religious Liberty Commission, which was set up to advise and report to the US President on emerging threats to religious freedom, has delivered its draft report, which included citing international religious freedom concerns.  

The Dehumanizing, False Promises Of Marxist Economics Must Not Go Unchallenged

Younger Christians today have been told that early Christians practiced socialism. This is false; the charity practiced by first-century believers was voluntary. It was based on the love of God, whereas socialist/Marxist regimes are inherently godless and generally suppress religious freedom. It is imperative that such indoctrination be answered, and our publishing and broadcasting efforts critique socialism factually and effectively.

How The Most ‘Informed’ Generation In Human History Also Became The Most Susceptible To Deception

We live in the most informed generation in human history, yet many would argue we are also the most confused. Never before has so much information been available with just the touch of a screen. Every minute, millions of videos are uploaded, articles are published, opinions are shared, and headlines race around the world before most people have even finished breakfast.

An Attempt To Compromise: Can ‘Evolution’ And The Bible Be Reconciled?

The long-age timescale for earth history is so dominant in our culture today that it is somewhat understandable that Christians, even those with a high view of Scripture, want to reconcile the Bible with long ages. One of the biggest problems with millions of years of history is that it requires death, disease, and other bad things long before any possible date for a historical Adam. But the Bible tells us that these things are the result of Adam’s sin. In a millions-of-years scenario, God would have had to declare death “very good”!

As Infertility Skyrockets, Study Finds Disturbing Abortion Pill Contamination In The Water Supplies Of US Cities

A study discovered that the abortion drug mifepristone has tainted the water supply in three major U.S. cities. Concerns mount as research shows an already declining fertility rate. In light of the discovery, Students for Life of America (SFLA) is urging the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to respond to the data by regulating the levels of mifepristone in drinking water. “We need the EPA to nationalize this examination, especially in light of so many struggling with infertility,” said Kristan Hawkins, CEO of SFLA.

Fauci’s Diary Reveals He Was Drunk On His Own Fame, Obsessed With Celebrities Amid COVID Lockdowns

Newly released diary entries from Dr. Anthony Fauci paint a picture of a public health official who frequently obsessed over his celebrity status, media coverage, and interactions with prominent public figures during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Which States Rank Highest—And Lowest—For Religious Liberty? 

Each year, First Liberty’s Center for Religion, Culture and Democracy publishes a nationwide index of domestic religious freedom. It ranks religious liberty protections for each of the 50 states. The index focuses on select legal safeguards of religious exercise in state laws and constitutions. 

Netanyahu Arrives In Washington As The Iranian Regime Says ‘No Path Remains Other Than Jihad’

It's the eighth meeting between the two leaders since President Trump returned to office in January 2025, and the stakes could not be higher. After nearly two weeks of massive strikes against Iran, the US has paused military operations yet again in an attempt to negotiate with Iran's regime. The President told Axios on Monday, “We are in very deep talks with Iran. If they don't work out, we will go back to very strong military action... Either it goes fast or not at all.”

Palestinians Reject Israel’s Right To Exist—That Is The Reason Peace Is Not Attainable

Israel is willing to pay a lot for the prospect of peace, and all that they demand from the Palestinians in return is recognition. Recognition, that’s it? That’s right folks, recognition. The recognition that Israel is the Jewish state. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been quoted saying, “Until the Palestinians recognize our right to exist as a national state, no matter what the borders, and until they declare that the conflict is over, there will not be peace… Unless these things happen, even if we reach an agreement, it will serve to keep the conflict going by other means.”

Oregon Dept of Human Services Claims That Christian Parents Caused ‘Mental Injury’ By Refuting The Lie Of Transgenderism

The phrase “psychological functioning” is an umbrella term that refers to how a person thinks, feels and behaves. Ironically, Mr. and Mrs. Calaway’s commitment to sharing God’s truth is the very best way to ensure their daughter grows up to think clearly, reason critically and discern truth. Contrast their commonsense approach with ODHS’ insistence on enabling delusional thinking and it’s especially galling and outrageous. David Calaway has asked the million-dollar question: “When did the truth become mental injury?”

UK High Court Ruling Shows The Teaching Profession Is ‘Not A Safe Place To Navigate For Christians’

"I believe affirming children in a transgender identity in the classroom is psychologically damaging for them. I refused to go against my Christian faith and conscience and cause a child harm.

Dangerously Misleading: ‘Experts’ Claim Feelings Decide If A Child Is A Boy Or A Girl, Not Genetics

Notice the belief behind all of this—we are self-made people who can shape ourselves however we want, and our bodies tell us nothing about ourselves or our design. It’s just another way of trying to be our own gods instead of recognizing that there is a Creator God who defines us and that how he’s made us (i.e., our biology) tells us a lot about our design and our purpose!

Illinois Schools Will Soon Be Required To Indoctrinate Students With Man-Made ‘Climate Change’

According to whistleblowers and outraged parents, children as young as 13 in a South Australia school were forcibly taught about sexual activities with animals as part of a “queer” LGBTQIA+ “sex education” class.

‘Parent First Approach’: Christians Welcome UK Government’s Draft Guidance on Gender

Children in the crosshairs

What Does "Children In The Crosshairs Mean?

And Why Is It Biblically Relevant?

We at Harbingers Daily believe that it is exceedingly important that parents be provided with the latest news regarding the targeting of children, as well as Biblical analysis on this critical topic. In today’s day and age, we see a 2 Timothy 3:1-9 humanity doubling down on influencing our next generation. From toddlers to teenagers, children are being targeted on all fronts.

Whether through social media, entertainment, or via curriculums in schools, at the expense of our children’s innocence, a highly politicized and godless agenda is being propagated with increasing intensity.

The Bible places great responsibility on parents to protect, educate and “train up” their children Biblically (Proverbs 22:6).
